a willingness to return to spain it comes as campaigning for catalonia as parliamentary election gets underway we will have the very latest from madrid. also coming up yemen plunges further into chaos as rebel celebrate the death of the country's former president and their one time ally meantime the situation for most people in government gets more desperate by the day. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. spain's supreme court has withdrawn an international arrest warrant for catalonia as former leader carlos pushed him on and four of his cabinet members pushed him on addressed his supporters via video link from brussels on monday where he has been in self-imposed exile since october a legal declaration of independence the court of majority says that it has

withdrawn the arrest warrants because the politicians have shown a willingness to return to spain. let's get more now from journalist martin roberts who is following the story with us from madrid so martin we just heard the rationale there from the spanish court in order to withdraw this these these arrest warrants why do you think that they have done this now ok well as you say the election campaign officially doesn't the way today pushed him out of the other through former cabinet members in belgium running for public office they can only exercise i thought she was a willingness to read the first and he also gave two of the points very very interesting well is a legal technicality he wants to try then the other nine former cabinet members here on thursday but most importantly of all there's a hearing coming up in belgium on the fourteenth of december and he had no

knowledge as it's very very likely about here in the belgian coast refused to actually push him out of the it was on charges of sedition and rebellion and that would severely show you know some of the judge's hands here so i think he's trying to like to have us how is this likely to impact the legitimacy of catalonia as independence claim and what is next for carla's pushed him on. well this is a very interesting question because there's absolutely nothing now to prevent him from resetting from society on the other hand if he was to do thus he would almost certainly be arrested and the question then is whether he can carry on his campaign behind bars in spain which may be no less difficult than doing it but i think you know conference from belgium the legitimacy well again. you know the nothing to stop him to this but i mean that would severely limits his action and the question is you know if he was the elect it's you know could see in theory yes he crudes

they have a member of parliament. how he would actually be able to discharge his juices and whether you know the courts would less and less of a muscle a very big questions are yes is a very big question mark over whether it effectively be able to do us martin roberts with the latest from mr ed thank you saudi led warplanes are reported to have pounded the capital of yemen after what the rebels killed former president ali abdullah saleh he was fleeing the city after abandoning his alliance with the rebels and yemen's complicated civil war the attackers ambushed sally his vehicle and shot him dead. the house of the ex-president in flames in front of it supporters of the who thing rebels celebrate the death of the veteran former leader in yemen's capital sanaa hailed sunday's killing as a victory against their saudi led enemy. on this great exceptional
